" A Great Line
Up Of Speakers " ------------------------------- This, is the opinion voiced in Rick Jelliffe's blog (http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/5334) - Rick is giving an opening keynote intriguingly entitled "Motive and Method" which precedes two carefully-balanced conference tracks, packed with renowned experts presenting on hot topics: * Dave Beckett on RDF * Michael Kay on XSLT and XSD Schemas * Sean McGrath on XML Pipelining * Uche Ogbuji on Python and XML * Jeni Tennison on XML Data Types ... see the full programme at http://xmlopen.org/programme.html. Opening Keynote Announced ------------------------------ We are proud to announce that the opening keynote will be given by Uche Ogbuji, on "XML meets Open Source meets Business". Uche's talk will bring together the three main strands of the event: open standards, open technical implementations, and the business and practical considerations surrounding them.
